Numerical modeling of mining subsidence in the Southern Coalfield of New South Wales, Australia

چکیده
Mining subsidence associated with longwall extractions beneath significant natural features such as rivers and streams in the Southern Coalfield of New South Wales has posed risks to the natural environment. In this paper, a case study is presented showing the methodology in two-dimensional UDEC (Itasca 2006) modeling for mining induced subsidence around river valley, taking advantage of the discretization based on Voronoi diagram. The potential three-dimensional modeling method for subsidence is also introduced in this paper.

Numerical modelling techniques are not new for mining industry and civil engineering projects anymore. These techniques have been widely used for rock engineering problems such as stability analysis and support design of roadways and tunnels, caving and subsidence prediction, and stability analysis of rock slopes. Despite the significant advancement in the computational mechanics and availabili...
متن کاملCreep Life Forecasting of Weldment
One of the yet unresolved engineering problems is forecasting the creep lives of weldment in a pragmatic way with sufficient accuracy. There are number of obstacles to circumvent including: complex material behavior, lack of accurate knowledge about the creep material behavior specially about the heat affected zones (HAZ),accurate and multi-axial creep damage models, etc. In general, creep life...

Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) is popular technique which has been used since the last decade as a diagnostic method for transformers. However, accurate interpretation of FRA measurements is still challenging. Recent studies reveal that apart from winding deformation, FRA data can also be influenced by moisture variation in transformer paper insulation. Hence, a specific transformer’s model ...
